About
Hello! I'm an Associate Creative Director with more than a decade of experience creating integrated campaigns and visual storytelling across healthcare, hospitality, technology, B2B, and consumer brands. My career began in New York City, where I spent more than eight years developing a strong foundation in concept-driven design before returning to my hometown of Rochester, where I continue to bring strategic ideas to life through thoughtful art direction and collaborative creative. I partner with strategists, writers, designers, and clients to transform complex ideas into engaging creative that connects with audiences across every touchpoint—from branding and experiential design to print, digital, social, and video.
